Ulster Bank customers will be hit with additional fees coming into effect on Good Friday.

Current account customers will now be charged with day-to-day transactions like direct debits, ATM withdrawals, and contactless and chip and pin transactions.

Daragh Cassidy, head of communications at price comparison website bonkers.ie, said: "It definitely won’t be a Good Friday for Ulster Bank customers as its new fee structure will see the majority of account holders pay more for their banking each month."

"We still have among the highest mortgage rates in the Eurozone and now we have some of the highest day-to-day banking fees too, so this feels like a real kick in the teeth for consumers."

"I'd also advise people to check out the newer alternatives from ‘digital-only’ banks such as N26 and Revolut."

"These new banks offer a host of fun and novel services, allow you to sign up in minutes, offer great value, and for all intents and purposes work just like a traditional current account."
